Imran Khan was shot on Thursday evening when he was at his container when his party's 'Haqeeqi Azadi' march reached Wazirabad's Allahwala Chowk.
Pakistan military called Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan's allegations against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, and a major of the Army for plotting his assassination as "baseless and irresponsible."
Pakistani military media wing, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), in a statement issued in this regard, said that the "baseless and irresponsible allegations by PTI chief against the institution and particularly a senior army officer are absolutely unacceptable and uncalled for," Dawn reported.

Hours after the assassination attempt against Imran Khan, people held protests in front of the Corps Commander House in Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif in an inflammatory address on Friday shifted the blame of the assassination attempt on PTI chief Imran Khan onto the former prime minister for what he described as "crossing the red lines of religion", the dawn reported.
He expressed these views during the National Assembly (NA) centering on the assassination attempt on the former prime minister, which he alleged was being used to further "political objectives".
